I know, I know.. finally a post right? Sorry folks, but there hasn’t been a drop of anything to really post about lately. I was thinking about adding in some general Star Wars news or general Star Wars gaming news, what would everyone think about that?
Thanks to ‘persiana’ (from the LucasArts forums) for the heads up, some new information regarding Crytek UK (formally Free Radical) has surfaced. Apparently, they will be announcing something big com this years E3, which will take place June 7-9, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
I am presuming this will most like be Timesplitters 4 but one never knows! According to vg247.com:
Speaking to Develop, Yerli said it had “ambitious plans” for the TimeSplitter developer that was once known as Free Radical.
“I think at E3 this year – or just after – we are going to make a big announcement that I think people will be happy about,” he said.
“They were very pleased with their contribution to Crysis 2 [Note: Crytek UK made the multiplayer component - JC], and we have very ambitious plans for Crytek UK. The studio is now up to 85 people, with nice new offices. The main thing is that the team are having a lot of fun – that’s the most important thing to us.”
Yerli added the “UK scene” would be “very pleased” with what Crytek UK was working on.
Crytek UK has said in the past it’ll start work on either a new IP or TimeSplitters 4, a project the studio worked on previously as Free Radical.
It could very well be Battlefront 3 as Free Radical was working on both Battlefront 3 and Timesplitters 4 before they shut down.
Opinions?
damn, i sure hope this is not the next duke nukem F O R E V E R!?!?!?!?!
I’m a little bit skeptical since they specifically point out the “UK scene.”
Unless the Battlefront games were that much more popular in the UK than in the States, and I didn’t know.
It is just crazy that lucasarts hasnt announced or released battlefront 3!! They know that so many people want it. Instead they release a bunch of crap. They know that battlefront 3 will be successful. So just do it already! What are you waiting for!!
You know, I never actually had the felling that Crytek even dropped BF3 to begin with. I have always had confidence that they would pick it back up and still pray they will. If anyone is gonna make BF3 then Crytek is a perfect fit.
I don’t claim to know anything, but it seems like a mive waste to get rid of 2 years of hard work. I’ve heard that the Free Radical version wasn’t supposed to see the light of day…but I don’t think that means it was deleted. I’m purely speculating, but it seems like a good shot
Who knows, the whole point about the “big news” is it could be information about both games!
Honestly, I cling to every piece of hope, then when it fails, so do my hopes. For a while. Then, I eventually pick myslef back up and keep hoping.
I’m clinging to this piece.
As I said before, since this is the only rumor in like, what, two months? Those two months have been the quiet before the storm.
Have hope!
That’s the spirit!
Desperately wanting this…
I’m with ya man.
count me in
also I
Maybe……
Probably not though
Not gonna be it. Funny, I check this site after like two months and I’m one of the first to post. I got my eyes on Splash Damage’s Brink this May. Followed by Infamous 2 and Uncharted 3. LucasArts has been left behind by bigger and better things.
Ohoho! This looks promising!
long shot but i hope so
